Do you ever wake up in a cold sweat thinking about work?
This happened to me on Sunday morning. My subconscious rudely awakened me (and ruined my lie in) with thoughts of the upcoming Christmas party I'm organising for my team. It dawned on me that I had just less than 3 weeks to sort it all out. I'd obviously already booked the venue MONTHS in advance to get the date I wanted (Thursday 8th Dec - prime Christmas party time) but other than that nothing had been finalised. I still need to pay the deposit, sort out the budget, finalise the theme and most importantly plan my outfit!
Thankfully this mini semi-conscious epiphany helped kick me into gear! I immediately Googled outfits for the theme that I had been thinking about since September - having found plenty of inspiration I decided to go for it. I decided to make sure that I pencilled in some time to focus on the budget on Monday afternoon whilst the boss man was in meetings (always the best time to get things done) and I pulled out my beautiful spread sheet from last year and went about updating it.
So today I'm feeling way more prepared. The guest list has been updated with everyone who has confirmed, budget is sorted and best of all I sent an email this afternoon telling everyone our theme which is... Prohibition - the roaring 20's! Well if it's good enough for Made in Chelsea!
I also sent them all a couple of links to help inspire them. Think Bugsy Malone and Broadwalk Empire!
So we're now back on track and hopefully I'll be able to get a good lie in this weekend.
